Midnight Moses by The Sensational Alex Harvey Band REMASTERED + VIDEO

[@goforit7595]

Just discovered these guys this year (2024)...now I can't get enough of them!

[@Veradoradehon]

me too!!!!!

[@pamelabrown202]

same

[@MrLinolen]

had the pleasure of seeing these since the 70's best live band ever

[@nataliel4836]

Same

[@enigmabletchley6936]

Thank goodness I saw SAHB live, several times, in my youth. My life would have been a lot more dull without them. God bless Alex and all who sail with him!

[@GaryHunt-q6x]

Caught SAHB at the Capital theatre Cardiff back in the 70s unbelievable, Vambo Rool OK!

[@cometdust]

Anyone else hear Bon Scott and the boys? AC/DC was just forming as a band when this came out. The tough Scottish/English pub rock sound had a huge influence on their sound.

[@johnwelch6277]

Absolutely, as a matter of fact from what I've read, Bon Scott loved Alex Harvey was influenced quite a bit by him.

[@spinynorman1562]

Yes, similar vocal style, for sure.

[@stevebilbee3914]

You are very astute. When AC came out, it was evident so long ago. That path has its own consequences. No brakes on this vehicle...~grin~

[@JClaus1221]

Sort of mix of Bon and Steve Marriott. That is one hell of a mix.

[@maryreilly5092]

Sure do hear them!

[@janneortju961]

Gently menacing, the pure nucleus of rock and roll honed to the bone. Gotta love this.

[@louise_rose]

Great song, very funny lyrics too - and with stupendous energy: This is obviously playback - the drummer at the opening is a dead giveaway and at least the backing track is identical with the album version (Alex's vocals are also close, not sure if he's singing live here or not) - but they make up for it with this visually stylish feline performance and, indeed, wonderful make-up! 😃

[@colinjames2469]

Gently??🤣🤣🤣

[@janneortju961]

Yes. Gently. As in Dirk Gently.

[@josephmckay1226]

Remember the band from back in the early 70's. Thanks to KZbin, Still Rockin at 78

[@SpireUtd]

Thank you Dr Tomoculus for posting this. Alex at his menacing!

[@DrTomoculus]

You're welcome ;)

[@Pneumanon]

Just heard of these guys today thanks to Nick Cave. How did these guys not get the same revival of interest that so many other 70s rock bands got in the 2000s?

[@andycole3442]

Why why do we not have artists like this fabulous feller anymore?????

[@bojankolundzija6427]

The most powerfull rock riff (riffs) EVER.

[@stuartjones7229]

Master of his craft.

[@macombmissile]

Love this. I was only familiar with "The Faith Healer" in my youth. Dead Daisies got me here. This is so good.

[@russmckernan8572]

Saw him at Eel Pie Island in the 60's at the end of one of his tours. Sensational was the word! Even better than the Stones! RAW TALENT!

[@norbury57]

My first concert as a 16 yr old opening for Slade in 1973. A devotee ever since.

[@Steviemacdonald6594]

I was there!

[@gitaneVYS491R]

Alex Harvey should be a household name, fantastic performer.

[@jokerswearblack]

The greatest live act of all time - by a country mile. No one ever came close.

[@tomgradwell9872]

I agree. Saw them a few times & they never disappointed. Best live act by a country mile. They always gave their all.

[@jamsankoski100]

Check out..Hurriganes/get on (live in alavos) think you like it.

[@nigelcrommwell7934]

VAMBO ROOLS HAIL VIBRANIA !!!! RIP alex....

[@wyznrd8742]

motorhead

[@alancanham2956]

Very easy to agree with you and I'm a gobby little bastard.

[@andycole3442]

Why has this man never been recognised fantastic

[@Desmo900SS]

Brilliant. Alex at his most bonkers best !!!

[@alanlevy9193]

I am learning to play guitar at a certain age....this is one song I wanna play live! Love Zal

[@DrTomoculus]

Somebody's got to thumbs up this that's never heard it before. Come on. Alex Harvey and his band that were sensational kicked ass.

[@hellwarznewz]

Alex was the man who put Bon Scot on the map ... Bon totally ripped him off

[@kykyah]

Right, of course, nice you noticed, it´s the truth.

[@GadjiW]

The best image in rock EVER . 🇬🇧

[@robertthomson2220]

I found that out in syracuse around 1979.

[@chrisyoung8308]

The feeling that only comes from R&R, Salute!

[@dennispolke9029]

WMMS in Cleveland Ohio played the Sensational Alex Harvey Band a-lot!!!

[@ZalMoxis]

Totally surreal.... wish i had seen them ... i have all their albums still on vinyl.

[@mavjimbo]

Caught them live once at the Whiskey in 1972

[@WillieDuitt1]

I grew up listening to SAHB on WMMS in Cleveland, Ohio USA, found out later that Cleveland was one of the only places in the States that ever really game them the time of day.

[@markpoteet7831]

Saw them twice in 75 opening act for tull, a fan ever since, entertaining thrilling a little naughty, fun songs, a skillful professional group of performers, the likes we probably want see again. So outrageous. Love them.

[@raymondbartolic3116]

One of the best things in Ohio in the 70’S. Rock music and WMMS. Lots of amazing live music. Rock n Roll Hall of Fame for a reason.

[@1970HemiCudaRT]

Yes! I agree 100% I've seen SAHB twice at the Cleveland Agora and my favorite band there!!

[@sebastianfibes2126]

Midnight Moses and Faith Healer were my favorite SAHB tunes.

[@DrTomoculus]

Faith Healer is great as is Give My Compliments to the Chef

[@sebastianfibes2126]

@@DrTomoculus Mother dear, did you hear how they're teaching me to do the goose step...yeah that was a good one also.

[@WillieDuitt1]

Tomahawk Kid!

[@blooter6360]

Just made my night Absoloutely classic

[@blairhelsing630]

Anytime is the right time for the SAHB. Creative and courageous to the Nth degree. Thanks for the remaster!

[@andycole3442]

Why is this great man not in the rocknroll hall of fame over all the Shit they've put in there this man is MR ROCK ROLL

[@katoness]

Alex Harvey is too good for that Shite Hole.

[@sidensvans67]

Love it . Excellent .

[@musicstewart9744]

What a hook and what a band.

[@dougsaroma]

Nicely done. Great song!

[@margaretallen4956]

Just the BEST!!!!

[@williamashe9485]

Classic SHAB love this track. Best concert for me was at Park head "The Who and friends" SHAB stole the show.

[@Billy-h7b]

Saw the same show at Charlton football ground

[@maddog8621]

Geniuses. Need to keep working on that time machine. Nothing around these days to match

[@johncarter665]

I was just thinking the same thing. Saw them in '75 (or was it '76?). Blew me away. Totally awesome band - and live performers.

[@maddog8621]

John Carter I’m so jealous mate! So wish I’d seen them then. Saw the reconstituted band a few years back. But without Alex it was not quite as wonderful

[@waspacious]

when music was proper

[@mikeymaff8074]

simply sensational

[@billelliott3653]

he never done the same show twice great band live

[@BigislandEJ]

40 years and a thousand miles away and I still get the creeps....

[@opolecat1991]

I watched this man dive through a drop ceiling performing in Elyria it was amazing!

[@WillieDuitt1]

I played this tune on a jukebox in a bar in Elyria recently and a couple of older dudes told me SAHB played in Elyria and what a great show it was.

[@redrobefan]

Wonderful stuff! ….and all they ever got, even at their peak, was £200 a week each. No royalties, appearance money, anything!

[@stevedorefromtyneside9993]

So great.

[@graphique1]

Reeperbahn Top Ten 1971 - fuck yeah and always

[@ayiorgos]

An amazing band saw Alex and his new then band at Londons Palladium 1977 unforgettable!

[@vandinroth]

Love EVERYTHING about this video. The drummer is just like FUCK this, not even gonna pretend to lip synch this shit. The singer can't sing for squat or lipsync. And that's what makes this so PERFECT. The rock and roll attitude here was just awesome.. At 1:20 with the clown makeup....just genius! I've listened to some of their other stuff and can't get into it but this song and this video are both masterpieces of rock and roll!

[@stevenredpath6397]

Class!!!

[@ChaslyMat]

Loved this band since I was a teen (getting near 60 now). Groundbreaking IMHO. Shame this was in the era of mime for tv music shows. Still. A good idea of how this crazy band presented live. Alex Harvey and SAHB, much like Lemmy and Motorhead where the outriders for a new wave of rock for the generation that were too young for Woodstock and the summer of love. Again IMHO.

[@geoffreycarson2311]

THE GREATEST SCARIEST FRONTMAN EVER !!!!THE FRONT MANS FRONTMAN !!!!BAR NONE 👊👊👊👊👊👊👊👊✌😎g

[@karenstepp-whittier2021]

Indeed

[@michaelleigh]

When the 2nd LP Next came out Alex was 40 years old.

[@bscepter]

Christ, what a riff.

[@chriswoodworth1894]

I have a memory of what might have been a single - it was played pretty often on the Noel Edmonds Sunday show on Radio 1. Anybody confirm or deny this? Whatever, there’ll never be another Alex.

[@Malda27_]

1:38 when sombody say they dont like this song / who doesnt like this song it's the best man 😎🤘 rock on

[@kennethwebb5192]

All ways loved Alex harvey great voice and band

[@ogrebattle22763]

"Everything I touch is comin up ROSES"!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@Combustion47]

Absolutely brilliant band , just so fucking good

[@peterhoghead2872]

Grew up with Alex saw em at Manchester , needless to say they were awesome, fuck all like em now, I love and miss him, hoghead 12-19

[@chazwyman]

ALex always looked like he's just been woken up with a hangover and said WTF who cares let's rock. And of course that was exactly the situation.

[@zeferreira7679]

Well, nothing better than a Bipolar singer surrounded a bunch of schizophrenics, not to mention that they probably like alcohol and other funny substances! Lovely jobly! Obrigado SAHB!

[@jimpriestley6693]

Amazing performance and dedication to the show, despite tipping us early doors they were having to mime it. Love Ted adjusting his drum kit off his seat as the opening drum beat is heard! On a SAHB KZbin tour at the moment, if anyone knows of a live performance of Snake Bite anywhere let me know! Can't find one anywhere

[@ct7353]

Yeah… not too worried about miming… 😂🖤

[@jane---489]

*_And people thought that the Sex Pistols were heavy duty ..._*

[@skidder652003]

got to admire a bass player who wears his undercrackers outside his jeans.

[@carlnoonan1861]

That's a codpiece, Clockwork Orange style, not his budgie smugglers :-)

[@PureBlood42]

A drummer so powerful he could produce sound with no sticks in hand! Lol😅

[@Katsem]

Ted McKenna- so funny he dropped the stick right at the start. Fine drummer. Played with Rory Gallagher, Ian Gillian , Michael Shenker and others. RIP Ted.

[@kykyah]

Usually I don´t like blues rock, but this personality is just as punk as it gets, just oh boy!

[@tonebender7897]

Brilliant man...brilliant band merci :D

[@nikolaosmosxakis3395]

VERY VERY WELL...............................................

[@JCKnuckles]

Maniacs .... Love him!

[@skuggitmcskuggit1029]

just great to let of a bit of stress - thanks al

[@danielvereertbrugghen7609]

i love it

[@albatrosseable]

Wow. a sensational ironical performer.

[@TheSeafordian]

A great band when you were under the influence. As I often was in those days.

[@biblioman]

Sensational!

[@JR-xj2vr]

Beyond great.... enough said!

[@bennyh4950]

Wow!! Can clearly hear and see huge influence alex had on bon scott.

[@supermax957]

Die vollen Poser, dess gibt's doch gar net 😂 Voll geil, hey! 👍

[@gleelee2008]

this is so completely ON FIRE!

[@SlotraceDK]

First heard this song with The Dead Daisies, never knew it was a SAHB song.

[@steverobinson364]

Audio is from the “Framed” record, video some random magnificent concert. There are subtle clues. This is not a true live performance video. Still awesome though, wish I could have seen them live.

[@tagomago2178]

A real tribute to the Scotts!

[@erniemaalat3588]

damn cool unadulterated classics🤘😁

[@victorsantiago5470]

THIS THE BADDEST MUSIC VIDEO IN THE ENTIRE GOD FORSAKEN PLANET. . Alex had a face and a hook. (fish on a hook.)

[@malegrissusran8847]

You got no idea what you talk''n about !!

[@geoffreycarson2311]

TRUE !!!😁g

[@paul10018]

I was too young for them at the time, so SAHB are only a very recent late-in-life discovery. Bloody hell. I have fallen very hard for these charms. Routinely name checked as the best live act going I can believe it. If I were to be zapped back to the 1970s only to find Led Zep and SAHB playing different venues on the same night, my decision would not only be excruciatingly difficult but I suspect not the one that I always presumed it would be. BTW Aussie muso Stephen Cummings writes that Skyhooks, Bon Scott, and Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds owe their careers to SAHB. Many others I'm sure.

[@stevecharman8420]

Yep, Stephen Cummings is on the money. The influence on Skyhooks and Bon Scott is obvious. Back then they were huge in Australia. I regret never seeing them.

[@doyyeee1269]

god bless u sir... a venerable post in bleed

[@disismeisdatu2857]

Wayyyyyyyyyy ahead of the times... 😲😱... sadly, another rocker down too quickly! Who could handle songs like "Gangbang"? "Next"? Not even the Great Alice back when shockrock was new. I...must...be... The...man...in...the...jar...

[@PC-jq2hn]

a staple on the BUZZARD - WMMS - CLEVELAND in the 70’s

[@ronzahler6409]

kid leo would certainly approve...i saw them live in 1975...the orange microdot definitetly improved the experience...it took me 3 days to recoverer

[@Nonconformistwilderbeastman]

Lived in Cleveland in the early eighties was probably ground zero for SAHB as far as popularity in the US I picked up a couple vinyl albums of theirs from record revolution at Parma town Mall their first album and the live album with tomahawk kid on it which is one great tune Vambo kicks total ass too 🤟🤟🤟🥂 I live in Memphis now still have the albums though

[@geoffreycarson2311]

THAT LEER !!!!😳😳😳😳😂A MASTER Of HIS CRAFT !!!NO ONE COMES CLOSE !!!WELL Mebe BON SCOTT 😂THE GORBELS GEEZER !!!!The FRONT MANS FRONT MAN BAR Non !!!! And WHAT A BAND !!!😁😁😁😁😁😂R.I.P.ALEX g

[@karenstepp-whittier2021]

Saw them open fo tull early 70s.aqualung alb.

[@glamrockstar4241]

There are two great live versions of this by The Sensational Alex Harvey Band on the 2CD 'US Tour 74' (MLP14CD) on the MLP label.

[@bigdavekilbride9972]

brilliant.

[@robertyancey4867]

I like the original version..Its a little slower, and even though I believe the guys in the band are acting, I Like the "PSYCHOTIC " FEEL OF THE GROUP..Where has with the DEAD DAISIES, IT goes at a faster pace but more POLISHED..Both are good in their own way!!!😀😁😀😁😎😎😎

[@andycole3442]

Mr rocknroll

[@fasteddie777666]

Bahahahahahahhaaaaaa...Alex was fucking lit !!!...the whole band was fucked up !!!!!

[@mukhumor]

Yeah remember Alex Harvey , couple of mogadons tab of acid... happy daze.

[@Alun49]

He was the inspiration for Jonny Rotten. Jonny could never be Alex though.....

[@darrballl]

nobody will ever equal alex.

[@robdavidson1876]

Best band their era and ours pre punk metal to

[@kykyah]

In a way, yes, before punk, Harvey was from street level. like Ramones, he never pretended to be anything else, just himself

[@astanfartin1647]
